Intel 510 Series 120GB SSD Review

The ATTO Disk Benchmark performance measurement tool is compatible with Microsoft Windows. Measure your storage systems performance with various transfer sizes and test lengths for reads and writes. Several options are available to customize your performance measurement including queue depth, overlapped I/O and even a comparison mode with the option to run continuously. Use ATTO Disk Benchmark to test any manufacturers RAID controllers, storage controllers, host adapters, hard drives and SSD drives and notice that ATTO products will consistently provide the highest level of performance to your storage.

Atto shows that this is the fastest sequentially rated drive yet in our testing, scoring around 430 MB/s in the 1MB test. While sequential read is certainly not lacking, the sequential write performance is a little less impressive. The Sandforce drives easily outperform the Intel 510 120gb.

  1. Read about this elsewhere and was disappointed then, even more so now. Not what we expected from intel. they should be making their own controllers.

  2. Yeah, pretty much what I thought. Marvell controller was great with crucial used it a long time ago and the tuning has helped with read performance. Its just too little to late imo from intel. the timing is all against them

  3. Looks good for a boot drive, which I would think a lot of people want/need.

    Shame about the I.O performance on small files, it was always a weakness of the marvell controller. I feel a bit annoyed Intel didnt make their own drive, like they did before. it feels more like a ‘placeholder’ drive until their next one. I hope so anyway.

  4. The 250GB drive is much better, but its 450 quid. You can get an OCZ revo drive for that. I know which I would take.

  5. Im glad you did the real world tests, I was about to give up on this. but it seems very good for a boot drive. tempted tbh, as I know Intel have the best warranty system on the planet.

  6. Please don’t just post the score of AS SSD as most of it comes out of one part of the bench (4k QD64). The score is really bad for comparing SSDs.

    Otherwise great review.
